Abstract:
The article discusses the conditions that contributed to the occurrence of cases involving the abuse and sexual exploitation of females committed by peacekeepers during the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). The paper seeks to understand this context through a feminist perspective, considering the influence of militarized masculinity and the socioeconomic conditions in the country that perpetuated violence against women and girls during the course of the mission.
